Masters of the Universe Origins Skeletor Action Figure

Product Information

Collection of 5.5-in action figures includes He-Man®, Skeletor® and lots more fan favorites for storytelling fun and display. The Italy factory produced 11 (5.5”) figures, plus both Giants (Tytus and Megator). Of those 5.5” figures, they produced both Laser figures just like the Spain line. Other standouts in the Italy line are the Saurod with pinkish-bronze hues and Battle Armor He-Man with unique yellow highlights. France produced 37 figures for their “Les Maitres De L'Univers” line. The figures tend to be colorful and beautiful, albeit fragile. Standouts of the France line include the 7 soft boot figures (He-Man, Fisto, Man-at-Arms, Jitsu, Triklops, Thunderpunch He-Man, and Battle Armor He-Man), as well as big arm Fisto with dark katana and Stinkor with blue He-Man mold shield. Hong Kong (and China) produced a total of 29 figures. A number of them are highly sought after wave 6 figures such as the fan favorite Scareglow, Ninjor and Sorceress. All 29 figures were produced for the American market, but some had variants that were only for Euro Release (such as the Big Feet Skeletor).

Skeletor's inspiration, though, most definitely came from the latter. According to the Masters of the Universe episode of Netflix's "The Toys That Made Us," former Mattel designer Mark Taylor really did run into a body in the Pike Amusement Park funhouse when he was a kid. Actually, everyone at the park did. Taylor was sure the body was real, but no one else believed him. Then an arm fell off, and the folks at the amusement park realized they'd been scaring kids with an actual corpse. News Breaking News!

Top Toys in Argentina produced a total of 40 figures for the Masters of the Universe vintage line. Due to quality control, production and mold issues they appear to have made the largest amount of variants of any other COO. This has led to TT figures being highly collectable and sought after for their differences. You will find for example, He-man having well over 15 variations! Top Toys also produced perhaps the most notorious and sought after variant in the world, the Kobra Khan Camuflado (Khamo Khan)! A few other notable variants include Buzz-Off with dark arms, long hair Moss Man, Christmas-colored Modulok, and muscular leg reedition Mer-Man. Masters of the Universe was produced in Malaysia for both the American and International market. A total 33 figures were produced. The majority were readily available for sale in the USA, with Prince Adam and Terror Claws Skeletor as the notable exceptions. Malaysia figures tend to be characterized by high quality mold and paint apps and include many of the finals wave 5 + 6 releases. Notable variants in this COO (Country of Origin) include He-Man (both hard and soft head), Faker hard head (both small and big feet), and the Euro Prince Adam (both hard and soft head). With this glut of stories came countless origins. According to Kid Stuff's 1983 "Masters of the Universe" record, Skeletor hails from the planet Infinita. In 1988's "Masters of the Universe Magazine" #52 over in the UK, Skeletor is an intergalactic tyrant from Infinita whose "evil was already known throughout the universe" when he was forcibly recruited to serve under Hordak. Congost for the Spain line produced a whopping 67 figures! While Spain figures tend to more or less resemble their American release counterparts, they have a number of important standouts. Perhaps the most well known are the Laser Power He-Man and Laser Light Skeletor figures (only produced in Spain and Italy towards the end of the line). Some of my favorite Spain figures are not as well known, yet truly amazing, such as the Fisto with lilac Katana and Mosquitor with blue gun.
